What happened to all the Variatus?

Where did all the Variatus Platies go?  I got back into the hobby 6 months ago after 5 years away.  One of my favorite fish is the humble Sunset Variatus, and they used to be everywhere.  Every LFS had them, even Petsmart carried them.  Now, they are nowhere to be found, can't even find them online. Does anyone know where I could order some plain old Sunset Variatus from? And does anyone know why they became less available?

I think that platys are on the wane at the moment. especially at fish stores. there are too many more exciting fish at the moment. They just suffer from being too common. which is discouraging. They are super great little fish. I have a 20g with only platys in it, well, and 1 betta (she thinks she's a platy). The other problem they have is reputation. They multiply like weeds. which a lot of people are not into. Myself, I let the platys control the population. The 20g has everything from 2 year olds to week old fry
